Fodor's Review

This classic island retreat delights young international guests who appreciate spiffy updates in spacious rooms and suites around a charming atrium garden. Some of the rooms and baths are done in sleek modern simplicity. Others retain the stone walls and artistic tile of the original decor. All feature touches of the signature bright red. Rooms are set, terrace style, into a mountainside overlooking gorgeous Baie de Flamands, a long and fairly private beach. Depending on the room there can be a lot of steps to climb, but three units are handicap accessible and some can connect for families. A pool with lounge beds beside the beach is perfect for socializing, as are the attractive restaurants and bars. Conveniently located on-site are an outpost of Gustavia's Poupette boutique; a salon by Neville, London hairdresser to the stars; a spiffy Technogym fitness center; and in-room spa.
